Aye. :(

Some of friends suggested to me to be less polite and less friendly. Something like: "be a bad guy once or twice and they'll all crave for you". Wonder why. ;|

@Panda: Most women love guys that can spice up their lives. ;)

Of course, there's also a line between being a jerk and just being a bit bad (if done right, this is mostly harmless and very appealing to women. Being a jerk, on the other hand, is bad. No one likes a jerk.).

I'm still looking for that one lady that has the same passive personality I do (good luck to me...:rofl:)

But, to answer your question like I was going to answer it...if you always act polite and friendly, women tend to get the idea that they can control you at will (which, for some reason is unappealing to them... :| )

Umm...ermmm...

I <read this topic's title here> either. ;)

Oddly enough, I beg to differ. At least it SEEMS like a couple girls like jerks.

Read what I wrote before:

Man, you're some big strong guy. With just a little bad boy attitude you could get ALL the chicks. That's like playing a game on easy.

A bad boy attitude alone isn't enough to get a cornucopia of girls. At least not in my city.

Indeed...or at least they like the problematic type of guy. Just don't get it...I just don't get it... :wall:

I over-generalized by saying that NO ONE likes a jerk, but I get the feeling that if a woman could choose between two men with similar desirable traits and one is a jerk, she would pick the guy who's not a jerk (unless he's a wimp, which brings this discussion back to point A. ;)).

@Vel: Read what I wrote now. :D

@Panda: Me too! :|
But, at least over here in Puerto Rico, true jerks are rare. The closest thing to jerks you usually see are the arrogant-types that think that they have a hot babe for a GF, so they insta-win, so you insta-lose...and I haven't seen one of those in a while.

And, Vel is right. I'm surprised you haven't gotten any ladies yet, just with your physique. :)

Women love guys with masculine features. (One would hope so, at least. ;))

There is a difference between a bad boy and a jerk. The first one is closer to a rebel, while the second one...well, only a jerk. It's a different style. Don Corleone is a bad guy, Biff Tannen is a jerk. While the first one questions the concepts of good and evil, and has his\her own standards, the second one acts evil just for the fun of it (also trying to show dominance).

A none of these attitudes is enough on its OWN to attract women! This is important to mention. To simplify it:

High Attractiveness + Nice guy = Girls LOVE him for himself. He is the knight on the white horse. Very rare. Long relationship material, less efficient for one night stands.

Chances for him to get laid on short term: High.
Chances for him to get laid on long term: Very high.

High Attractiveness + Jerk = Girls LOVE him for his "real inner self, the one he does not show, but I'm sure, deep down there, he is a reeeally nice guy, with feeeeelings". Bullshit, but it really works.

Chances for him to get laid on short term: Very High.
Chances for him to get laid on long term: High.


Low Attractiveness + Nice Guy = "He is sooo niiice and cuuuute, and one of my best FRIENDS!" The poor bastard.

Chances for him to get laid on short term: Low.
Chances for him to get laid on long term: Average.


Low Attractiveness + Jerk = "He is such a pathetic jerk!"

Chances for him to get laid on short term: Very low.
Chances for him to get laid on long term: Low.

So, be attractive. Work on it goddammit!
